"Concussion" movie ads during NFL countdown?

I put this here to discuss just the ad placement, not really the movie. That's why it's not on the movie board. How badly are NFL jimmies being rustled with this ad?
Have they run during actual games? I think the NFL may draw the line there.

Yea they may can.

Do people really want to see this movie? I mean the synopsis is: the NFL tried to cover up head injuries. Players played a dangerous sport...now players want money. Players would have still played anyway... Knowing what they now know. The NFL is the bad guy. We'll still watch football on Sundays. The end.

They forced espn to not run a 60 min thing about concussions a few years back by threatening tv rights.

So they didn't force ESPN to do anything.

People are making WAY too big of a deal.

NFL has a lot of power, just like when they refused to allow/sign off on letting Stone use NFL trademarks in Any Given Sunday... if it makes the NFL look bad at all, they won't do it.

So the nfl is looking out for the best interests of the nfl? Bold strategy.

They played ads throughout the NFL thanksgiving games
Honestly I think the league saw the commercial and saw how absolutely dreadful the movie looks and went "yeah go ahead and show that so LESS people will go see it"

You're cranky today, go take a nap

You honestly think that the NFL sees a national marketing campaign of an awareness project that paints the league as a bunch of money hungry arse holes who put cash over player safety as a good thing?

I honestly think you need to take it down a notch, it ain't that serious playa
ETA and the previews come off more as a crazy conspirsosy movie than an NFL hit piece
Hard to take it seriously when it's got Will Smith giving a Blood Diamond level accent and then random guys in suits giving him death threats over his concussion cause
